Rear shock maximum compressed length

[SoWhatComesNext]

Hey everyone. I've been doing some searching and can't find a definitive answer. I'm hoping someone has done the measurements so I can save some time. Anyone happen to know the maximum compressed length you can run on the rear shocks before they bottom out/over-compress? Trying to get as much travel as possible out of the rear end and I don't want to extend the bump stops.

Thanks!

Have you tried going out to some local trails and find a rock or two protruding up a foot or so and then try rolling up on it?
You can also try it on drainage ditches and other objects you may find around your area. Anything that you think you can roll a tire onto to compress the shock without causing damage should work.
Heck, you can even try jacking up a wheel till you're about to lift the opposite wheel off the ground, that'll work also!

It's looking like that's what I might need to do. I was hoping this was part of "the knowledge" somewhere. Seems like it should be.

There's a chart out there that has extended and compressed lengths for various shocks for the 150 platform. I think it's Aussie. I can't find it now but I think I originally found the link on this site.
